918 What Vitamins, Minerals and Dietary Supplements Should You Take?

Tune in to our radio show on your local public radio station, or sign up for the podcast and listen at your leisure. Here’s what it’s about:

For years, dermatologists have been warning us to stay out of the sun to reduce our risk of skin cancer. More of us have been heeding this cautious advice in Australia and in the U.S. But what does that mean for the sunshine vitamin? Are we running on empty?

Australian naturopath Russell Setright describes why vitamin D levels are so often low, how to assess them and what to do about deficiency.

 We will take your calls about vitamins, minerals and dietary supplements. Ask questions and share your own stories by calling 888-472-3366 or emailing radio@peoplespharmacy.com between 7 and 8 am EDT.
